Listening to God
We are often good at talking to God, but how much do you listen to God?
One day I was meditating and talking to God about all the things I was doing in my life. I would ask questions and make statements and get a response back. Then it occurred to me that I wasn’t just sitting back and listening to God.
So, I thought about it and decided that I should take more time just listening to God. I decided to make a list of the things I should listen to God about. After getting a few things written down I got a clear message “Just listen.”
So, I listened. At first, I didn’t hear much… it kind of sounded like static on the radio. But I kept listening, and listening, and listening. Pretty soon I was aware of something – it was a “picture” from God. The picture sounded fun. It was a picture of something I would be doing. The message was not to worry about the details, just keep trusting in God, and watch things unfold.
Then I heard music, gentle healing music. I was starting to like this listening stuff. The next thing I heard was a color, it was bright red. It was for me to use to heal an area of my energy system that I was working on clearing out. Then I heard a dream, an astral experience. It was to remind me of my creativity on the astral, while I am asleep.
So, I kept “listening.” I was beginning to realize that listening wasn’t as I had thought it was. God communicated in many more ways than I thought. Then I remembered a time recently when I had screwed up at work, and I asked God to help me. I asked Him to help me salvage it, and I actually let go of the problem long enough for God to help. I didn’t hear words back, instead what I got was to keep working on it. I wasn’t sure what that meant, but when I met with others on the situation, nobody paid much attention to the mistake I had made because something else had just come up that took their attention. By the time that was resolved I had had enough time to fix the problem. So, something I had thought would be a big deal turned out not to be. That was how God answered me, by action. I was impressed and decided to ask God for help more often.
As I continued to listen, 1 realized that listening is what it’s all about. It’s about receiving God, letting God flow through.
